Short answer: at some point you will run into diminishing returns with how much $$ you spend on a pair of headphones and the performance the headphones. With this in mind, I think having 2 $200 headphones is better because then you can get 2 headphones that do different things, such as have one...

I don't own either of these headphones, but one note for your consideration - the d2k are not fully closed - they are sort of semi-closed, and do not provide as much isolation as a purely closed-back headphone. The 550 is a closed-back headphone and isolates as such. As you mentioned, and from...

Quote:   Completely agree with this. I love my e10 and only downside is the plug. I have to exchange mine b.c it is distorting a lot..hopefully new one wont have plug problem.   

Quote: Hmm, you'd think they would of fixed the issue b/c I read people had this issue with 1st batch. Is yours (or anyone elses) headphone jack loose though? I agree it seems they messed up in having such a loose/wobley headphone jack. Really annoying 

Had the 2nd batch E10 for about 2 weeks now and had been loving it but today started having the distortion problem. The jack seems really loose, and now anything played through the E10 is really distorted. I am pretty positive it is a jack problem b/c messing with the jack can solve the...

I just got mine also, I am really happy that the slight hiss that came from my Macbook pro's audio jack is finally gone thanks to the E10. I am also still shocked by how small it is...really doesn't look that small in photos, hard to tell how small it is until you see one in person

Thanks for the review, nice quick read. You mentioned that you would call this "transportable," do you think it is sturdy enough to be thrown in a backpack for use at the library, coffee shop etc?   I was set on getting the E7 but now with  this out, I really don't need the battery because I...

Why is there one of these "steve jobs is dead" threads in every forum..   But I digress - I agree, this is sad
